Bucephalandra Crocodile

Bucephalandra Crocodile is an easy, beginner-friendly plant featuring long, round, and wavy leaves that are dark green in color. It can be grown submerged or emersed. The plant is very slow-growing, with new leaves sprouting from long, thin rhizomes. It can be propagated by cutting the rhizome and attaching it to driftwood and rocks using super glue gel or thread.

It thrives under low to moderate lighting and adapts well to various water parameters. Like Anubias, Buce plants have rhizomes that attach and grow on solid surfaces. While it attaches exceptionally well to rocks, it can also flourish on driftwood and other substrates. When placed in the substrate, ensure only a portion of the Buce plant is under the substrate while keeping the rhizome exposed, as burying it can lead to rot.

Key Features & Important Notes
